Article presents the analysis of the Egyptian internal and international affairs after the presidential elections of 2012. Special focus was put on the internal changes effects on the international situation in the area of security and stabilization in the region. Social revolt which lead to the revolution in the January of 2011. Started by the young people, using internet for gathering for the demonstrations in order to try to keep control over the new rulers, was the first (beside the Tunesia) such movement in the Middle East, changing the politics of the regional powers as well as the key global powers in this region also. Very important for the new situation of Egypt in international affairs is the role of its Armed Forces and Secret Services. Both have great influences in every sphere of Egyptian life and possibility to change this country’s future. Changing of the internal situation in Egypt reflects on the many international factors such as in first row Arab‑Israeli conflict (and within it also Palestinian-Israeli conflict) and through this it impacts the peace in the region of Middle East and North Africa. Egypt during the rule of Muslim Brotherhood seemed to build an alliance with Turkey and Qatar which would make their stance much stronger in case of cooperation with USA or UE. If those countries will not fall into the extremism it is a occasion to build new kind of international relations in the region and much stronger system of international security.

The article presents considerations related to future directions of Interpol’s development, that is one of the criticalinstitutions of the global security system. Development directions are determined before all by Member States’ assessmentof effectiveness and legality of Interpol’s operational activities. However, in comparison to the practical cooperationof police forces vast improvement is required in relations to legal sphere of Interpol. There is no doubt that the effectivenessof the Interpol. The organisation operating in transnational dimension has to possess a proper legal status. Interpol,in the opinion of some experts in the field of international law, does not have the optimal legal solutions and the appropriateratio for the national law of the Member States. The weakest point of Interpol is outdated and ineffective legal basis foraction. For this reason, the sine qua non conditio for the further development of Interpol is to provide the organisation withspecific legal position, which would be proper to the uniqueness of tasks that are being carried out (including the adoptionof appropriate solutions for the privileges and immunity of Interpol and its staff in a uniform manner in all the MemberStates). There is also a need to harmonize internal normative acts of the organization — including the Constitution of Interpoland the General Regulations, the interpretation of which causes a lot of confusion regarding the legal status and the natureof membership in Interpol.

Identification of the crucial problems of one of the critical institutions of the global security system which has been an element present in police cooperation for over 90 years is not an easy task. The multitude of factors (e.g. political, legal and organisational etc) that shape options for Interpol action makes the identification and assessment of such problems very controversial. The development of international police cooperation within the framework of Interpol was carried out in a logical way and closely linked to the real needs of the police of cooperating countries. Through long-term practice, specific mechanisms and instruments for organising and coordinating international police action have been developed. Certainly the presence of Interpol does not solve all the needs that may be encountered in the practice of police cooperation, but without Interpol, the cooperation discussed could develop only at a regional level, which would considerably reduce the effectiveness of the international search for suspects and criminal information exchange. Police actions undertaken within the framework of Interpol, which is a mechanism of multilateral cooperation, in a natural way can only serve as supportive and complementary to operations in the fight against crime that are carried out in the internal dimension of Member States or as part of bilateral agreements. To such operations Interpol provides coordinating assistance, expert knowledge and scientific or analytical support. At the current stage of development of the legal situation and international relations there is no place for any further Interpol function that might prove effective in practice. Assessing the activities of a well-deserved international organisation, it should be pointed out that there is an undeniable need for Interpol’s existence. Interpol is perceived by the international community as an instrument that can be used only against cross-border criminal threats. Consequently, as an organisation that has operated for decades in terms of a clearly defined role, Interpol has the ability to integrate organisational tasks against these.
